Well…there you go.
I do think it’s important for you to have a clear annual budget for your daughter, so she understands what costs will work for your family and what costs won’t.
The risk with ED for you…you will get that one offer (if admitted) and won’t know if it’s the best net cost or close…or not. You won’t be able to compare financial aid and net costs amongst multiple admissions. You will be given a short window to accept or decline the BU ED offer. It’s sort of one and done. If you accept…you accept that net cost as well. If you decline, we’ll…you are done with BU. But maybe BU will be the lowest net cost. But since you will have declined the ED offer, it will be too late to accept it.
Did that make sense?
